Jason drove by, stopping in front of me. "What's going on?" He said, softly. I hopped in his van. "Kevin cheated on me." Saying those words stung like venom coming out of my mouth.

Jason pulled the car over.

"Baby, come here." I crawled over to him. I sat in his lap and cried. "Why Jason? Why me? Why can't I just be normal and have an easy life?!" I yelled into his arm. "Autumn." He said sweetly. I looked up at him.

"Life isn't perfect, okay. And neither are we. And who cares? Kevin is just another guy. This life is about you. Just smile. Because that frown just drags you down." He ran his fingers through my hair. "Just look at him and say, I'm better without you! Be independent. Use him as a way to push you further. Show to him that he made the worst mistake of his life."

Wow. I missed his advice. "You know exactly what to say." I smiled, sniffling. "Next weekend." He smiled. "I'm taking you to New York City. And we are gonna just have fun." I hugged him tight. "I miss you."

Kevin's P.O.V

She ran, and in that moment I felt extremely hurt. But why? Who was that. My heart apparently knew, but my mind didn't. I walked back home to see a girl wrapped in a blanket. Her hair was straight, the ends sharp and pointed. She looked intrigued and wanting more.

I passed out.

"Wha-!" I lifted my head, that felt like it was filled with concrete. "Oghhhgh." I looked over. WHO THE HELL WAS IN MY BED?! And bits and pieces started coming back to me. "Erika." I gasped. Then my mind jumped to Autumn. I'VE CHEATED ON HER. I climbed out of my bed realizing I was naked.

Then I panicked. "Oh no." I threw boxers on and paced in my room. I needed a shower. I smelled like sweat and.    ....   ...I turned on the shower and climbed in. I cleaned every inch of my body, thinking and trying to remember. Too bad I couldn't.

I climbed out, put clothes on, And was bracing myself. I was ready to get into a fight with Erika. I walked in... She was gone.

I walked over to my bed and saw a note.

'thanks for helping me study. I'll never forget it.
                xoxo, Erika'

And my favorite shirt was stolen out of my drawer.

Great. I sighed, my headache overpowering me.
